Helicobacter pylori is an important human gastrointestinal pathogenic bacterium which is believed to colonize approximately one-half of the world's population. Different strains of H. pylori possess virulence proteins for tissue colonization, host evasion and tissue damage. The bacteria display geno

✦ Synopsis
Oligomeric ferrocenes were investigated simultaneously by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). The oligomers were obtained by the reaction of tetrahydro-4,4,8,8-tetramethyl-4,8-disila-s-indacene-3a,7a-diyldilithium (Li 2 L) with FeCl 2 Á1.5 THF (THF = tetrahy- drofuran). Depending on the reaction conditions up to ten linear-chain and eleven cyclic ferrocene oligomers with masses between 1139 and 5071 Da could be detected unambiguously. The most abundant macrocycles contained ten and seven iron atoms when the reactions were carried out at À20 and 25 °C, respectively. The chains had cyclopentadienes as end groups and formally resulted from replacing one iron of a cycle by two hydrogens, which corresponds to a mass difference of 54 Da.
